FEAR NOT

Friday of the Fourth Sunday of Lent Year C John 7:1-2, 10, 25-30 Today’s Gospel speaks about the struggle of Jesus because of people’s hostility and rejection towards Him. Many were seeking an excuse to kill Him. He knew it but He was not afraid because He also knew that he has a mission that is greater than his death. Fear has no power to stop him from carrying out his mission. Three points that I would like to share with you. First, face your fears. If you don’t face your fears, you will have to run your whole life. I salute people who are brave enough to take risks. Jesus, inspite of death threats He took risks because of His love of the Father. He did not let His fear conquer Him. Friends, remember this when we face our fears we live our dreams and we are able to achieve great things in life. Are you brave enough to express your faith even if other people are hostile to you? Second, conquer your fears. What are your fears? Ask Jesus to help you defeat it for He will surely help you. Fear is an instrument of the devil to prevent us from achieving great our dreams. Never let your fear decide your future. Finally, fear not. God is so much bigger than the challenges, problems, struggles and difficulties we will encounter in life and at work. FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real. Fear will only scares us but it cannot defeat and control us. Brethren, let your faith be bigger than your fears. When fear knocks, answer it with faith.
